This Publication is an Abstracts book of the 13th Arab Congress of Plant Protection (13th ACPP), organized by the Arab Society of Plant Protection (ASPP) in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture, Water Resources ...
Using accurate detection tools to develop a successful management strategy for lentil and chickpea viruses in farmers' fields in the highlands of Ethiopia
Since 2019, farmers in the highlands of Ethiopia are losing their chickpea and lentil crops because of virus epidemics, and lentil production area in Ethiopia was reduced due to the virus infection. Based on FAOSTAT, lentil ...
Safe movement of food and forage crops germplasm: ICARDA’s experience in the Arab region
Germplasm exchange for research and breeding purposes is essential for crop improvement in the face of climate change and population growth. To contribute towards achieving sustainable development goals, the germplasm ...
Bacterial leaf blight disease of wheat (Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae) in Syria: importance, characterization, and spread
The quantity and quality of wheat production are affected by a number of biotic and abiotic stresses, including bacterial wheat leaf blight disease caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae (Pss). Pss is considered one ...
Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay for detection and characterization of Pea seed-borne mosaic virus in legumes applied by ICARDA’s GHU
Pea seed-borne mosaic virus (PSbMV, genus Potyvirus, family Potyviridae) is the most important virus infecting lentil both in terms of economic importance and geographical distribution. It was reported that PSbMV can even ...
Phytosanitary management of ICARDA’s germplasm seed collections for safe movement and better future use
Germplasm exchange from international genebanks and breeding programs is vital for successful crop improvement programs. More than 10,000 different accessions of wheat, barley, lentil, faba bean, chickpea, grasspea, and ...
Genetic diversity of two viruses affecting lentil and chickpea crops in the highlands of Ethiopia
Chickpea and lentil are the major legume crops grown in Ethiopia, providing people with balanced nutrition of proteins, minerals, fibers, and carbohydrates. Since 2019, farmers in the highlands of Ethiopia are losing their ...
Development and Deployment of Climate Resilient Wheat Varieties to Ensure Food Security in Africa
Presentation on Development and Deployment of Climate Resilient Wheat Varieties to Ensure Food Security in Africa.
Development of bread wheat genotypes for multiple resistance to foliar diseases
Global food security and sustainable wheat production are both constantly threatened by increased human population. Yellow rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici) stem rust (P.graminis f. sp. tritici) and Septoria tritici ...
Development and deployment of climate resilient wheat varieties to ensure food security in Africa
Wheat production in the CWANA and SSA regions is significantly affected by abiotic (heat, drought) and biotic (rusts, septoria, etc) stresses. The wheat breeding program at ICARDA develops high yielding wheat genotypes ...
